Message-ID: <20070305225456.1aacb21d@sovvan>
The March meeting will be here next week and we have a bit of a
problem. We don't have a topic.
Worse, I lost track of the time and haven't found anyone to cover for
March.
Any volunteers to talk? Any cool modules you've worked with, or
interesting projects you've worked on?
Any topics that we can use for a discussion?
Any projects that you are working on, that you could use the help of
everyone at the meeting?

The bad news: The Conference has to be rescheduled slightly
-----------------------------------------------------------
The ESC Congress 2007 is even bigger than we thought. They expect 15.000
cardiologists, plus their spouses! Due to this, there is nearly not a
single bed available in Vienna for the night from Friday, 31st August
to Saturday, 1st September.
As we do not want to force you to leave on the last day of the
conference, we decided to
**reschedule YAPC::Europe to Tuesday, 28th to Thursday, 30th August.**
We are very sorry for this, and do hope that it does not cause any
problems for anybody who might have already booked his or her flights
or hotel. If this change does cause you some problems, please inform
us, and we'll see what we can do to help you.
The good news: Register or submit a talk until 31th March and win a
book!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
We have two coffee-table books (one including a DVD) on Vienna to
raffle off. To enter the contest, all you need to do is to either
register for the conference and pay your ticket, or submit a talk
proposal until 31th March.
- Zentralfriedhof Vienna: The living Graveyard. Including DVD:
Universum Documentary A documentary about the Zentralfriedhof, which is
the second largest cemetery by area and largest by number of interred
in Europe. In German and English.
- Wien. Tradition und Moderne. by Doris Simhofer This book is
German only, but has lots of nice photos :-)
Winners will be announced on 3th April.

On that topic, I suggest we discuss next month's meeting topic now. The
meeting is April 10, 2007. As far as topics, I can't come up with anything
specific.
It does occur to me that most of the people attending our meetings seem to
be highly skilled. Maybe we could try a mini-hackathon if anyone was
interested. This would have to be RSVP to work. Maybe we could extend the
hours and make it a longer meeting? Start earlier? If this'll work for you
guys, then I networking and the room can be provided.
Of personal interest to me would be something perl6 related. I just got done
listening to Uri Guttman, on perl cast http://www.perlcast.com/. And there
was a mention of a "docathon" for perl6. Maybe we could contribute in this
way? We could learn more about perl6 and help with the cause at the same
time.
I'm open to other suggestions. I think this could be fun. What do you guys
think?

It would be a good idea to think about topics a few months into the
future, not just next month. This allows someone to volunteer to
present even if they don't think they can prepare before the next
meeting.

We've talked about projects in the past, and even trying to help out
the Perl community. But, maybe a hackathon would be more successful.

I think the mini-hackathon idea is GREAT! Of course, I won't be able to
make it (seeing as how I'm now about 7 hours away vs. only 2), but I think
the idea is great. It would also give someone "organizing" it some great
exposure to possibly organizing one immediately after this year's YAPC ;-)
*wink wink*. Last year's post-yapc hackathon was fairly small (I believe)
as compared to Chicago's full blown hackathon later that year. If there's
any interest on that front, let me know.

}Last year's post-yapc hackathon was fairly small (I believe)
}as compared to Chicago's full blown hackathon later that year.
Actually - they were about the same size, go figure. More locals showed
up for the November one than the June one, but the June one had many of
the "heavyweights" of the community hacking it out in an unused IIT
cafeteria. The November one was just more formal and more publicized.
Also, the post-YAPC one was "hack on whatever you want", while the
November one was "hack on whatever you want, but we could use some hands
on Parrot." Similar yet different.

You're in luck. There is a Perl conference in Houston during the last week of
June, and after the conference there will be 2 days of intense
classroom-style training available.

I know Stonehenge Consulting (http://www.stonehenge.com/) does
training. I also found this directory of Perl training services.
(http://www.perltraining.org/country/USA.html)
However, many of use learned Perl from "Learning Perl". The Perl
Monastery (perlmonks.org) is another good resource for answering
questions on the Perl language.

The best book on regular expressions is definitely "Mastering Regular
Expressions".
Until you get a chance to go to training, I would definitely recommend
asking questions here or at perlmonks.org.
G. Wade
PS. One other little thing. According to the Perl FAQ, the spelling is
Perl (for the language) or perl (for the executable), but never PERL.
Despite many jokes, Perl is not an acronym.

Absolutely! :-) 99% probability that the prices for the classes will be
the same as last year, $200. Also, Dennis, the conference itself runs $85
for the early bird price, or $100 thereafter. Registration will be opening
as soon as the final payment integration piece is added. One of the
registration choices includes a training class option.
